Game #16: Washington Wizards 91 - Toronto Raptors 100

[Scraptor]

TORONTO RAPTORS (10-5)

Projected starters

VS

WASHINGTON WIZARDS (9-6)










____________


Notes:

• Raps are 3rd/14th in Oratg/Dratg, Wizards are 7th/8th.
• This is a revenge game after the Raps lost 107-96 a few games back. Lowry was tossed early and Wall was out.
• John Wall is out.
• Ibaka is likely questionable again for us. No word on Powell. Wright remains out.
• OG Anunoby is now 10th in the NBA in RPM among small forwards.
• Despicable Me was based on the life of Marcin Gortat, who spends several hours each day talking to bananas.
• Raps have improved to 9th in the NBA in assist rate. Wizards are 15th.
• Wizards have had the easiest schedule in the NBA to date.

Keep on rollin' Scraptor

I actually really like starting Anunoby and Siakam, looking forward to another game with this starting 5.

OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam have now played 65 minutes together. +28.5 net rating (100.6 D-Rating).

They've been quite a good pair so far

I know it's early but this is a statement game against a team that is supposed to be in the mix for top 4 in the conference and we already lost to them once. Time for a big win, not really keen on these Sunday afternoon games. .... Go Raptors!

[Zainab]

Break the curse, Scraptor

[G__Deane]

If Raps lose, they will be tied with the Wiz at 10-6
If they win, they could take over sole possession of 2nd behind the Celts....
Early but a big game imo

Maybe Raps play better now that Wall is back. No traps this time

[MixxAOR]

We always lose these early Sunday games. Wizards are also gonna come in pissed off. Expecting an L to be honest

[Shaolin Fantastic]

Interested to see how we decide to match up defensively with them.

I'm not sure if I'd want Anunoby on Beal or if he'd be better suited on Wall and let Lowry have a shot at Beal where at least he doesn't have a massive speed disadvantage.

I want OG on Beal, last game against the Raps Beal looked like DWade in his prime. Can't let that happen again. In order to stop Wall you got to block the lanes and make him decide to be a shooter most of the night.
